JustRite 1-5/8" circle stamps

Oh I have to tell you, I really love my 1-5/8" JustRite stamps, but haven't used them as much as I'd like to since I just have no idea how to get these babies cut nicely into circles. I've stamped and made all kinds of combinations and practiced using my new Copic airbrush system to fade the colour of the circle for future tags and cards and am totally stumped with how to get my circle cut :( Any advice?

While I am on the topic, I am so tempted to get the new JB-09720 Romantic Sentiments Centers Round 1-5/8" and the JB-09725 Loving Thoughts Centers 1-5/8" because I love them so - just holding out bacuse of "shipppiiinnnggggg" LOL :)

Now, since I started this post (and left it in drafts for awhile) I have gotten some generous advice from out in Bloggyland, including this JustRite stampers punch and die compatibility chart and this Spellbinders Compatibility Chart As for the outcome on my circle-cutting challenge, I was also led to the JustRite blog where she used the 1-3/4" EK Success circle punch which was pretty neat, but seemed bulky and limiting and would have cost me a fortune to ship to Canada, sooo... off to eBay I went and snagged me the Spellbinders large circles set (plan to use the 1⅞ circle primarily for the 1-5/8" circle stamps) and since I am paying shipping on this beautiful nice flat package, I had to throw in one or two other goodies to sweeten the pot - you'll see them pop up soon ;)

Please note, I took advice from the Spellbinders Compatibility Chart re: Revolution™ by QuicKutz®
